Not exactly, but kind of. Oxygen is generally known as the final hydrogen acceptor. NAD+ and FAD are generally known as electron acceptors because they transport electrons to the electron co-enzyme chain. After the electrons go through the co-enzyme chain they bond to protons forming hydrogen which bonds to oxygen to make water.
If O2 does not do this then it is at least an intermediary ultimately conformed to CO2.
Oxygen, because it is highly electronegative.
oxygen
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is reduced to NADH by the hydrogen. Another molecules that performs the same function but plays a relatively more minor role is FADH, which is reduced to FADH2.
"The main function of mitochondria in aerobic cells is the production of energy by synthesis of ATP. However, mitochondria also have many other functions, including e.g.:Processing and storage of calcium ions (Ca2+).Apoptosis, i.e. the process of programmed cell deathRegulation of cellular metabolismSynthesis of certain steroids"http://www.ivy-rose.co.uk/Biology/Organelles/Organelle-Functions.php
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.
Oxygen, because it is highly electronegative.
Oxygen is considered the ultimate electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. It accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, forming water as a byproduct.
Glucose is converted into pyruvate.It is common to aerobic and non aerobic erspiration.Glucose is splited and converted into pyruvate..It is common to aerobic and non aerobic respiration.
The atom that accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain is oxygen. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration, combining with electrons and protons to form water.
Water is released during aerobic respiration after oxygen accepts hydrogen. This occurs during the electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Tissue respiration, or internal respiration. you are probably looking for aerobic respiration
Yes, oxygen is a terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. In this process, oxygen accepts electrons and protons to form water, providing the final step in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
oxygen is used to pull electrons down to the Electron Transport Chain which pumps H+ to create H+ gradient :)
No, it is the other way round:The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen. Together with H+ ions water molecules are formed. O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ ==> 2 H2O
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
The answer to this question is very hard. If you wish to know the answer, go to google and google it. Thank you, the Answering Co.
Yes, pyruvic acid is a product of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. In aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is further broken down in the mitochondria, while in anaerobic respiration it is converted into either lactic acid or ethanol to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.
